of course
i find it fascinating that feelings of gratitude can turn into feelings of burden
so quickly
What A Surprise!
in the moment
not a season in hell
not even
but more than a tea-time
a smoke break
it’s like a vacation in hell
have a vacation in hell
all the love pouring at you
— it’s a pain in the ass
you can’t receive it and it’s like flies around your head
(swat swat swat)
yeah, well, thanks
i love you too
maybe i’ll wake up in the morning and feel it again
but right now i want to put myself down on the marble slab
IN MY OWN HOUSE
and, with a big marble rolling pin
flatten myself out
kneed for a while, alright
kneed myself
the roll it out again
make sure the lumps are gone
and do something with all this fucking dough…
Find Shelter
I got Noah Georgeson’s album “Find Shelter” a few months ago… having been listening to the song for over a year (i had a live performance where he played it with Devendra and the band)
I’ve been loving the song… and Jorge did too: he decided he wanted to sing it for the Talent/ No Talent show at the Breitenbush faery gathering
so i came up with the idea of taking the Buddha Loops (from FM3’s Buddha Machine)
and arranging them into a sort of strange backing track
Jorge isn’t really interested in Lyrics, he just likes music
so we decided i would be the one singing, then he would read a poem written for the occasion after
… we used Garage Band (v1.1) on Jorge’s Mac, coz i don’t have it
and neither of us knew how to operate the program
i generally figure out software quickly and we were able to make this piece in just a few hours
using four loops and a sample from Noah’s album
Unkle Markie held my camera (it wasn’t the greatest angle)
i said “everything has been altered slightly” and the music started
after i sang, i lay down and Jorge covered me to sleep
his poem started with a “to-do” list i had laying around my apartment
some of the events he read about were about us… some i don’t know
he’s going to type out his poem, so i’ll link to it when he puts it up in his journal
(edit: here it is: http://astromante.livejournal.com/15184.html )
compared to the “gay” things and the “drag” things and the “folk” things
our little piece stood out a bit
someone said it was “very new york” and “abstract”
but it felt good to play in front of people again
the gathering was beautiful and surprising for me… i’ll write about it more later
(i’ve also already uploaded a few other videos from the talent show, go to my youtube account to see them)
mercury isn’t with me yet
anyone wanna come hang out with me at the Salt Lake City airport?
I’m leaving the house right now to head to the airport to fly to PDX to spend a few days with an old friend
then be in the forest, off the grid, with the faeries at Breitenbush
be back in NY on the 20th
i’m leaving my computer here ( wish me luck! )
